HC Deb 28 July 1931 vol 255 cc2248-9

CLAUSE 25.—(Application to Scotland.)

Message from the Lords:

The Lords insist on their Amendments in page 1, (leave out Clause 1); in page 20, line 38 (so far as it leaves out paragraph (a) of Sub-section (1) of Clause 22; page 22, (leave out Clause 23); and page 23, line 7, and page 23, line 8, to which the Commons have disagreed, for the following reason:

Because experiments in large-scale farms involve an expenditure which is unjustifiable in the present financial situation and do not afford any prospect of assisting agriculture or of relieving unemployment.

Motion made, and Question, "That this House does not insist upon its disagreement to the Amendments made by the Lords upon which the Lords have insisted," put, and agreed to.—[Dr. Addison.]
